    I have only just discovered this blog, and am still testing water.It is good,good,good to know that some of the old-guard new-wave warriors are still around and kicking.Yourself kicking harder than ever it seems.Moorcock and Delaney are still around, but producing stuff that for me at least is too intellectual and obscure.I can tell you that the Void Captains Tale is a book i,ve read over a dozen times since first discovering it in 2003.For some reason i don,t know why i,ve never read Child of Fortune, but intend to do so very soon.The only other Spinrad books i have, are Jack Barron,No Direction,and Raising Hell. I think i feel instinctively that much of your work might be too serious and heavy for a bubba like myself.It is the flamboyantly,prismatically explosive, operaticism of works like Void Captain that blow the mind ,that stimulate,arouse and energise.Such works fire one up , and in that sense they politicize.Cos works like that give you something to fight for and preserve the freedom and culture that produced such an indulgent and somewhat undisciplined masterwork.Let me conclude by saying that even i, realise i gotta grow up and tackle some of the less fantasy-based Spinrad work if i seriously want to explore the ouevre, which i do.As for undiscipline, creatively speaking, that never has and never will be a bad thing.

    Mr. Spinrad - I just had an enormous flash of realization of how the media wars in both Little Creatures and A World Between are being realized with the dawning of creative technologies not dreamed of (except by folks like us) when you wrote them. CGI and Deep Fakes, and the perfect manipulation of images that is becoming possible, are having direct-input effects on our brains. I just watched the supposedly benign movie musical Spirited . . . The quality, and the psych-hospital level of emotional manipulation pulled off with amazing power and expertise, put me right on Pacifica. Thank you for being in my head - so many lesser writers have tried.

           ELECT YOUR PEOPLE'S POLICE                            by Norman Spinrad If something isn't done, and done fast, a civil war in the United States is just a shot or a Molotov Cocktail away. But how and by who?   If there is one American who could stand up before the protesters and be listened to it is surely the one and only former President of the United States, Barack Obama. Live before the largest crowd possible and of course well televised.  What should he say? He should speak the hard truth to the leaderless protesters that what they are doing is counterproductive to their own confusion of diverse and general causes which if even possible would take decades of legislation to accomplish. What is needed  immediately is a strong significant and reachable demand. Demand that the head of all police departments in the United States--cities, towns, st...

THE 21ST CENTURY SHAMAN

        THE 21ST CENTURY SHAMAN                          Alternate Medicines and the Scientific Method                     by  Norman Spinrad           Written   over a decade ago as a proposal for a book that never got written  but all too pertinent  to the era of the coronavirus                     There are many medical systems on this planet, some of them ancient, some of them new, more of them that not based on metaphorical systems. Only “Western” or “alliopathic” medicine is based on rigorous science.  But many of the traditional non-western systems cure some conditions cure some conditions but not others. Many of these cures work in practice, but not in theory. That is they do work, but not for the reasons the theory behind them conte...

VITAMIN C VERSES CORONAVIRUS Why I've not yet read this anywhere I don't know but that is why I'm duty-bound to do it myself: Vitamin C will be effective against the Coronavirus, personally, and collectively. Vitamin C promotes the body's creation of Interferon which is key to the strength of the immune system. Everyone should take at least 2000mg of Vitamin C, 1000 in the morning, 1000 in the evening, some say another 1000 mid-day. This is not curative, this is cautionary, keeping your immune system running at maximum. If you start to suspect that you may be feeling early symptoms take 1000 mg of Vitamin C an hour until your urine turns bright yellow, which means that your Vitamin C is at maximum and you are pissing away the rest. This will not always stop the infection but it frequently will. I am not making this up, it was discovered and elucidated by Linus Pauling, a Nobel class biochemist. Decades ago, I suffered chronic urinary infection like many men. When I ...

WHAT DOESN'T KILL LOVE MAKES IT STRONGER

                                    WHAT DOESN'T KILL LOVE MAKES IT STRONGER Dona Sadock and I have lived a half century long love affair and counting, and not a simple or conventional one.  We met at a literary conference in Milford Pennsylvania in 1965.  I had just published my first novel and was on my way from New York to California on a great road adventure, she was going to go to Europe. It was not love at first sight for me, it was love at first conversation. When the conference was over, I told her to get in the car with me, not really believing she would, and she didn't. I ended up chasing her back and forth between California and New York, never exactly catching her, but our destiny together had begun. As lifelong best friends, even while married to other people, as sometimes lovers living together, bouncing back and forth between New York and Los Angeles for both of us...

A TALE OF THE THREE NORMAN SPINRADS

                             A TALE OF THE THREE NORMAN SPINRADS                            “Now is the time for a futile gesture” --attributed to the IRA                         “Believe the foma that make you strong and brave and happy”--Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.                One of us is in  Paris France after four days at the Quais Du Polar festival in Lyon and surfing buoyantly at the crest of the wave. Another one of  us is shortly to return to New York City and dreading the inevitable letdown.  The third Norman Spinrad is writing this and attempting to cool his ire enough to try to make analytic sense of our maddeningly disjunctive existential situation.     The Norman Spinrad who lived in Paris for over a de...

THE CANCER DIARY

                 This is more or less self-explanatory, written in real-time on my laptop, first at home, then from a hospital bed, and posted in real-time to a group email of friends and on Facebook, hence raw and repetative, but I believe, useful and honest in original form except for spelling check.    I think AN AGNOSTIC'S PRAYER may be of free-standing interest itself independent of the personal story which finds me writing this, having created this blog, still recovering, but, not 100% cured and in for some more chemotherapy, so I will post that separately too.            March 23        I have been diagnosed with stomach cancer and told that it is presently inoperable due to involvement of a mesentery lymph node, and my only chance to even live out the year is to undergo prior chemotherapy of one kind or anothe...

GAY OR STRAIGHT, MARRIED OR NOT, ALL COUPLES ARE MATES!

 GAY OR STRAIGHT, MARRIED OR NOT, ALL COUPLES ARE MATES!                                                        by Norman Spinrad  A while back,  Dona Sadock--my clumsily so-called “significant other”--and I  attended a traditional wedding where the “bride and groom,” a man and a woman costumed more or less like the traditional little statues on the traditional wedding cake, became “husband” and “wife.” Dona and I had been “significant others” decades ago, parted for decades and married other people, which is to say officially became “wives and husbands,” were both divorced from our respective spouses, and have now once more been eachother’s “significant others,” for over a decade. Awkwardly written paragraph, now isn’t it? What do you call a man and a woman who are and have long been living together as “husband” ...
